Pastors Are Performing Spiritual Euthanasia

3 days ago | substack.com | Virgil Walker

A few years ago, I sat in a church leadership team meeting where the lead pastor said something I’ll never forget: “Let’s make sure people leave feeling better than when they came.” Everyone nodded. I didn’t. I wasn’t trying to be contrarian. But I thought about the man living in unrepentant sin. I thought about the woman who needed confrontation more than comfort.
When the Soul Feels Heavy

4 days ago | substack.com | Virgil Walker

So many people talk about church hurt, but no one is talking about what plagues far too many: spiritual depression. We know how to name trauma. We know how to chase feelings. But we’ve lost the language for soul-weariness rooted in forgetfulness of God. Martyn Lloyd-Jones knew that Christians could be saved—yet stuck. Forgiven—yet joyless. Assured—yet spiritually exhausted. His remedy? Not retreat. Not therapy. But truth. There’s a kind of sadness that creeps in unannounced. It doesn't explode—it seeps.
The Therapeutic Gospel Can’t Save You

Maybe the problem isn’t that we haven’t tried therapy. Maybe it’s that we’ve replaced truth with it. Jesus didn’t die to improve your vibe. He died to destroy your sin. He didn’t rise to boost your mood. He rose to crush death underfoot. He came to crucify your sin, not coddle your wounds.
Why the Left Wants Your Children-and How to Fight Back Biblically

1 week ago | theaquilareport.com | Virgil Walker

This battle isn’t won by tweeting harder. It starts at home. The greatest act of resistance in this cultural moment may simply be a father reading the Bible to his family, or a mother praying with her children at bedtime. Draw the line. Turn off the noise. Open your Bible. They’re after your children. Your son’s manhood. Your daughter’s innocence. Their minds, their morals, their loyalty. And here’s the uncomfortable truth:The Left has been more evangelistic than the Church.
The Culture of Complaints

Something needed fixing. Frustrating? Sure. But it happens. Then came round two. Different plane, same process. Bags up. Belts on. Sit tight. And again, mechanical issue. Another delay. Another deboarding. By the time we got on the third plane, I wasn’t grateful we were safe. I was just annoyed.
From Dignity to Disorder

A group of Black men and women from the 1930s—dressed in suits, ties, hats, and long coats. The caption reads:“Before sagging, bonnets, and Walmart PJs were worn in public. A culture of dressing up is what our people did.”Over 27,000 shares. And it’s not hard to see why. That image carries more than nostalgia. It carries a rebuke.
Why the Left Wants Your Children-and How to Fight Back Biblically

Their minds, their morals, their loyalty. And here’s the uncomfortable truth:The Left has been more evangelistic than the Church. More relentless than most fathers. More strategic than many pastors. While we were trying not to “offend,” they were grooming, reprogramming, and recruiting.
When the Freed Remembered the Fallen: The True Roots of Memorial Day

When the Freed Remembered the Fallen: The True Roots of Memorial Day It was not the privileged or the powerful who first honored America’s war dead. It was those who had been enslaved, who had known the lash and the chain, who now stood as free men and women choosing to mourn and pay tribute to the soldiers who had died for their freedom. The morning of May 1, 1865, dawned with promise over Charleston, South Carolina.
The Sin of Sentimentalism

Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade. The Church was never called to be soft. But softness has become our brand. We tiptoe around sin like it might sue us. We whisper truth like it’s a secret. We’ve traded the Lion of Judah for a therapy dog, and we wonder why the world no longer takes us seriously. The Church is not called to be a hospice for sin, but a hospital for sinners. And yet, somewhere along the way, we confused the two.
The Idolatry of Unity at All Costs

Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade. Have you ever bitten your tongue in the name of “unity”? Sat silently while error spread, because you didn’t want to be “divisive”? Nodded along in a meeting just to keep the peace? Be honest. Was it really unity you were protecting, or was it comfort? Let’s name it:Sometimes, what we call “Christian love” is just fear wearing a smile. No raised voices. No hard conversations. Just smooth sailing and surface-level fellowship.
